FAQ

What does it mean that your courses are professionally approved?

Athletic Trainer 360 is an approved provider by the Board of Certification, Inc. (BOC) for either Category A or Evidence--Based Practice (EBP), as indicated. Athletic Trainer 360 is also an approved provider by The ACSM Professional Education Committee.

Why offer an “exam only” option? Don’t I need the book to complete the exam?

This option is for professionals who already have the book, access to the book (i.e., through sharing or borrowing), or wish to order the book from another vendor such as amazon. You do need to have access to the book to complete the exam. If you order the book through us, simply click the "Exam & Book" or "Exam & Kindle eBook" radio button when completing your order.

Can I share the exam with colleagues?

No. Each professional must purchase their own exam. Exams are not transferable or shareable. If an individual attempts to submit exam answers (which they did not purchase), then the continuing education units and certificate of completion will be deemed invalid and reported to the Board of Certification, Inc.

What are the exams like?

Exams consist of true/false statements. (Exception: EBP exams contain true/false statements and multiple choice questions.) True/false statements are organized, in sync with the book chapters, and are designed to assess how well you can apply the information and knowledge to change your professional decisions, practice and behavior, in accordance with best practices and evidence-based research.

Print out the exam, and use the reference book or video to complete. Then enter your exam answers (in one session, since you cannot save and return) at the URL located on the exam. With a 70% minimum score, you'll receive your certificate instantly. Unlimited and complimentary retakes.

Why am I having trouble submitting my exam answers online? The URL does not work.

Avoid typos! Copy the URL/link that is listed on your exam (located on the exam (page 1) and yellow highlighted). Then paste the copied URL/link into your browser.

I have a book or video I would like to see adopted as a continuing education course. Will you consider it?

We accept paypal, Visa, MC, Discover & AMEX. For credit card verification, the billing address you enter must match the address where you receive your credit card statement. We also accept purchase orders from institutions (i.e., universities, hospitals, corporations, etc.). Email our order form (get it here) or your own purchase order to info@athletictrainer360.com.

What about returns?

We believe in second chances. Within 30 days of receipt of shipment, you may return the hard copy book or continuing education exam or unredeemed eBooks. You are no longer entitled to earn continuing education from refunded/returned exam(s). If you complete a refunded/returned exam online and receive an automated certificate, your certificate of completion will be deemed invalid and reported to the Board of Certification, Inc.
